Bug#812721: gbp could filter out Files-Excluded: entries when committing to the pristine-tar branch

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Guido,

The pkg-go team is currently discussing changes to its workflow, and
we’d be interested in resolving this feature request.

Searching for how dfsg-clean branches should be named, I found
https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.branch.naming.html,
which recommends “dfsg/latest”.

However, my reading of section “About repacked upstream sources” of
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep14/ directly contradicts the above advice:
DEP14 says upstream/* should contain the repackaged files.

How do we reconcile this apparent contradiction?

Which part of gbp specifically should be patched here? AFAICT, there is
no command which pulls a new version from upstream yet. Should one be
added? What should it be called?
